Tribological in metal forming process and the use of bio lubricant as metal forming lubricant: a review

Abstract

Due to its low scrap, high production rates, and higher yield strength of cold-formed products following forming operation, cold metal forming methods stand out as the most beneficial method of metal forming. The use of metal forming process is one of the major aspects in manufacturing process and the utilised of lubricant is extremely vital. When referring to lubricants, the term "bio-lubricant" refers to a stock that is both renewable and biodegradable. Fats and oils, which are derived from fatty acids, may be reacted with alcohols to create esters. It is crucial for the economy, people, and the environment that lubricants be developed and used efficiently. For this article, we scoured the literature and analyzed the most up-to-date research on the topic of metal forming process improvement and the use of vegetable oil as a metal forming lubricant. This research intends as a case study and demonstrating the tribological analysis in metal forming process and the potential of using bio lubricant in the metal forming. Future manufacture of new oil blends from new and conventional oil sources will be offered to the market for a variety of economic and health concerns.
